students of the Hyderabad based engineering college were merrily
taking photos on the banks of Beas river in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi

The video shows that, the
students were doing photography while standing on the rocks near the
bank of the river. And then suddenly the water flow increased and
within minutes it swept away the students. 24 students were washed
away and only five bodies have been recovered till now.

The students who have
survived from this tragedy are saying that they have asked the locals
before entering the river bed. The students said that they did not
listen any siren, meant for alerting the people about the release of
water from the dam, nor there were any danger mark signboards on the
river bank.
